How did you get W480??? I know they don't look at the writing score...

LOL ummm my grammar is horrible =(

Your GPA and SATs are pretty low.
Around 0 for AEM, maybe 5% for the arts and sciences business.

lol how can you aim so high in one month prep?

That GPA and those SATs (1730 you mean, not a 1750) are killing you. Especially since you're an Asian.

Well, in all seriousness, if you do manage to get your SAT over 2,200, then you might have a chance at them overlooking the fact that your GPA has seen a constant downward trend, since your EC's (and tits) seem to be pretty good. You should probably also leave those AP scores off your app.

Your SAT scores and GPA will kill you. I know Cornell doesn't make SATs a end-all factor, but you don't have any outstanding hooks that would make up for it.

Rest assured that all the other competitive Asian applicants will have high SATs.
Good luck in achieving your projected 500 point jump.
